Noisy Beer Party In Wilson Leads To Arrest Of 4 On Burglary Charges Police

August 09, 1986|by PEG RHODIN, The Morning Call.

Wilson police may have helped solve an Easton burglary yesterday when they broke up a noisy beer party.

Wilson Police Chief Richard Nace said neighbors called to complain about a raucous nightlong party in an apartment at 73 Main St., West Easton.

Nace and Patrolman Lawrence Hendershot knocked on the apartment door. When a young woman answered it, the police saw "beer lined up from one wall to the other."

A youth, 17, who rented the apartment, "took off running" with the officers behind him. Nace said he caught the boy in a nearby parking lot.

The officers found Morris Adam Pysher, 19, of 1029 Wood Ave., Easton, in bed in the apartment and two other young men, William F. Robinson Jr., 23, and Robert Sandt, 18, in a car in the parking lot. Neither Robinson nor Sandt has a permanent address, Nace said.

The police chief said a 16-year-old runaway girl from Forks Township also was in the car. The two girls in the apartment hadarrived only recently, and were not involved in the incident directly, Nace said. He sent them home.

A couple of phone calls linked the beer supply to a burglary reported yesterday by Joanne Sandt, manager of the Weston Club at 1317 Lehigh St., Easton.

Sandt said somebody broke into or was locked in the building when it closed for the night, and kicked out a metal door to escape. She said 25 cases and three quarter kegs, together with two beer taps with handles, were missing.

Easton Detective Thomas Mangiafico interviewed the four young men and charged them with burglary, theft, receiving stolen property and conspiracy.

District Justice Pat Maragulia committed Robinson, Robert Sandt and Pysher to Northampton County Prison in default of $2,500 bail each. They will have hearings Wednesday before District Justice Michael Koury. The 17-year-old was committed to the Northampton County Juvenile Detention Home to await Juvenile Court action.
